As of late, I've stuck with Kirkland brand synthetic in 5W-30. I have some Mobil EP 5W-30 from the last rebate but probably won't replenish. Before Kirkland/SuperTech I mainly bought PP 5W-30 for changes. I have one oil for my entire fleet of vehicles, none of which are either direct...

Well... there are different cultural norms depending on which Walmart you visit. In New York Ci I bought 30 quarts of Kirkland 5W-30 synthetic for $19 per 5-quart jug. I had a $500 Costco gift certificate which was part of the calculus but about $20 per 5-quart is the bottom end of the...

For anyone who wants to make their favorite oil brand 20,000 miles capable, I have some stickers that I can print on my laser printer and you just stick them on the bottle. It works for any brand!

As I've typed this post...... about six times. It is causing me psychological distress.

If you use SuperTech, your vehicle is doomed.

If they start putting pictures of naked ladies on the bottle I'll consider buying it.

The fleet: 2011 Ford F-150 with the 3.7L 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.6 Pentastar 2014 Kia Rio 1.6L 2017 Kia Forte 1.8L 2020 Hyundai Elantra 2.0L 2017 Kawasaki Z900 0.948L 2022 Orion 250L 250cc I standardized on 5W-30 for all the four-wheel vehicles, Rotella 15W-40 for the motorcycles. In...

I have 5-quarts of Mobil EP 5W-30 too. I was tempted by the last rebate which was not worth the effort. I buy mainly off the price for a product that meets an industry certification. I try not to bounce around too much which is easier these days than it used to be, but I'm not brand...

You are wasting your money. Just kidding... do what makes you feel good about your vehicles. It isn't that much money to spend on premium fluids and if it gives you satisfaction, it is money well spent.

Just throw a dart at that list. My dart keeps hitting the Kirkland 5W-30 as I have about 40 quarts in the garage.

Another 20 quarts of Kirkland 5W-30 are going into the stash. I've stuck with the Kirkland more faithfully than I do most flavors. I like the Kirkland Olive Oil too, which shows promising results on my blood test.

There is a lot of (edit - Mod) that is just difficult to measure and prove. Many of these studies that show an ass hair difference in wear rates shouldn't be driving your decision on how to take care of a vehicle. When in doubt, follow the manual and stop reading this site.

I'm sure they checked the dip stick to make sure it had oil while in development.

Do you ride in below-freezing weather?

Only if it is a synthetic oil does the clutch slip. LOL....

Is there a debate? Am I required to pick sides? My motorcycles live on 15W-40 Rotella T4 so I must be in the thick camp but I run 5W-30 all year in my cars. For the motorcycles, they don't need a winter grade because frankly, I don't drive them unless it is 50 degrees F or above. Our...

I've had four Hyundai Elantras a Kia Forte, and a Kia Rio, and I never had anything but routine maintenance on any of them. I drive my current 2020 Hyundai for work and I'm at 41,000 on this one and it is my favorite. It is just a simple car and I love the powertrain on this one with the...

I hate when they use all these high-tech sciencey words and concepts. They should just stick with the star system for labeling.

The cars sucked... the oil was fine.

I'm sticking with OEM fluid for my CVT. Your single unselfish act of taking one for the BITOG team isn't sufficient to change my behavior. LOL....
